The horse breed, which is now synonymous with the Budweiser brand, has been used to promote the beer since 1933, when "August A. Busch, Jr. and Adolphus Busch III surprised their father, August A. Busch, Sr. with the gift of a six-horse Clydesdale hitch to commemorate the repeal of Prohibition."

The company also sent another six horses to New York, which drew a crowd of thousands, and presented some beers to former Governor Alfred E. Smith, who fought against Prohibition, as well as other U.S. cities.
